I only stopped updating on gallstones because there’s no change. I never did have surgery, no pain, no problems though I can’t say it was an unbridled success because the scan you read about showed a worsening not improvement.

As far as gluten goes, it’s made a huge difference. I haven’t had any problems with gallstones since avoiding it 1 year ago, and the weight loss has been permanent. It’s not a diet per se – it’s just a conscious change and I feel tons better for it. I’m still certain that gluten plays a major role in gallstones – the evidence is really compelling – but once the damage is done, reversing isn’t quite as easy I guess.

If you’re not sure if it’s gallstones or not, I’d get an ultrasound done to be sure. Good luck! Cheers

Needless to say, you have found a spot on my “favorites” bar. Sad to hear the gluten free diet didn’t work. Yet you still say to avoid gluten. Is that just because it’s horrible in general, or does it make the pain of gallstones less frequent? How often do you have pain from gallstones? Sorry if I’m getting too personal. This is just new to me, so I’m digging in.

Without correct acid levels we just can’t absorb the nutrients in our food or release the right enzymes & fight off bacteria. I’m currently working on getting my levels back to normal, you may find the below useful-

I also read a book called ‘why stomach acid is good for you’ which lays out the science of it all.

Based on nothing but a hunch, I think it’d be a roughly even split between diet, environment, genes and personality but it’s a tough call to find out. Either way, diet’s clearly key.

JanetDarbeyMon, 04 Jul 2011 07:47:47 +0000http://www.fatfiction.co.uk/?p=1258#comment-489I would take your theory one step further and say that most illnesses are caused through lack of nutrients with poor diet and protein ingestion being the foremost cause of these. Let’s face it..the average ”diet” a person eats is full of crap!

”You are what you eat” has never been more accurate a description. Look at the diet and nutrition of a person who has a chronic long term illness and you will usually find that they are lacking a nutritional element, often more than one.

Older people in particular often neglect to eat regular nutritionally good diets….other people live on mass produced highly processed foods and think they are good because advertising pays for them to say so on tv and in the press.

The only good thing is that it is rarely too late to start eating a good nutritional balanced diet .
